Fragments in Motion
Energetic Rhythm in Pieces
In Fragments in Motion, rupture is not an end, but an opening. Each fractured canvas pulses with a language of layered color, where chaos is not erased but gilded - traced with gold to honor what breaks and still shines. Vibrancy spills through every crack, suggesting that value is not in wholeness, but in the alchemy of what endures. This is a constellation of moments, scattered, bold, and quietly triumphant, where even the mess is luminous.
Centering Chaos
Swirl of light and feeling
Centering Chaos explores the tension between motion and stillness through layered acrylic textures and vibrant, rhythmic strokes. The piece invites the viewer into a vortex of emotion where cool tones balance warm surges, and each circular movement suggests both unraveling and return. It is a visual meditation on internal turbulence, memory, and the cyclical nature of grounding oneself amid uncertainty.
A reinterpretation of John Singer Sargent’s Fumée d’Ambre Gris (1880), this monochrome painting focuses on the intimate folds of fabric and the contemplative stillness of a veiled woman, evoking softness and mystery through tonal restraint.
Set in a quiet kampung street glowing with warm lantern light, this painting captures a 1920s woman in a cheongsam holding a fan, while camels move gently in the background, suggesting tradition, labor, and grace beneath a night sky.
Charcoal & Graphite Drawings
The drawings explore a range of approaches, from portraiture to architectural studies, from expressive animal forms to classical reproductions. In the portraits, each mark is a study in quiet observation: capturing not only the likeness, but the subtle presence of the subject. In the animal studies, character takes precedence over realism. These birds are bold, strange, and a little theatrical, rendered with dense hatching, sharp contrasts, and an eye for personality. Across all pieces, the act of drawing becomes a way of noticing: of slowing down and attending to line, structure, and nuance.

Form in Focus
Foam Camera Study
This 3D foam model reimagines the camera as an object of fluid ergonomics and sculptural elegance. Its smooth contours invite touch, while the contrast of matte black and metallic gold suggests both utility and ornament. This is a study in form - where function takes on the softness of intuition
Audacia
Light Play
A symphony of light and form, Audacia defies conventional expectations with unapologetic elegance. Rising from its base like a frozen ribbon of wind, it twists and curves with a quiet audacity - graceful, but bold. The transparent acrylic structure catches and refracts light in dazzling streams of neon green and violet, each glow tracing the sculpture’s contours like strokes of daring conviction. The lamp doesn’t merely illuminate a space. It declares its presence. With its sleek, spiraling geometry and kinetic energy held in perfect stillness, Audacia is a celebration of confidence and creativity, a testament to the power of bold design. It lives at the intersection of sculpture and function, daring viewers to redefine what light can be - not just a utility, but a conversation, an experience, a statement. In a world of straight lines and symmetry, Audacia curves defiantly toward the extraordinary.
